The Longevity Family: Starting from the Branches and Leaves

Chapter 253 Zhao Chan's Heartbeat

The night was quiet, the wind was howling, exuding the coolness of late autumn.

"A month has finally passed!"

Looking at the bright moonlight outside, Chen Ling exhaled, and put away the two crystal clear Haoyuan Pills in the Void Fire Cauldron in front of him.

This month, Zhao Chanzhen gave her fifteen copies of Haoyuan Pill's materials.

It has to be said that he once again saw the wealth and power of the Huashen family.

Not only is the material sufficient, but the quality is also good.

Of course, he only used [-] of the [-] ingredients, and made a total of [-] Haoyuan pills.

Only one of them was lost.

The success rate is still quite high!

This month, Chen Ling almost never left the camp.

Either concentrate on alchemy, or adjust breath to recover.

He looked like he was doing his best.

After all, apart from Zhao Charmaine, there were other Nascent Soul cultivators from other sects around, and he didn't know what other people's cultivation level was.

There is always no big mistake in being careful!
As for the fourteen Haoyuan pills, give twelve to Zhao Charm, and the other two and the rest of the materials are considered wages!

"The big battle is coming tomorrow, we still have to be fully prepared!"

Chen Ling murmured.

Although he had prepared a third-tier invisibility robe, he was not sure if he could escape the fourth-tier monster's demon consciousness when he used it for the first time.

"Why don't you try it with the Nascent Soul cultivators around?"

A thought flashed through Chen Ling's mind.

But he quickly shook his head and rejected this unrealistic idea.

Generally speaking, monsters have not practiced the soul skills, and the demon consciousness is just a talent, not comparable to the soul of a monk.

But the monster consciousness of the fourth-order monster is also extremely powerful.

If he could hide from Yuanying monk's spiritual sense, he would not be easily discovered by monsters.

It's just that the Nascent Soul cultivators here are not familiar with him.

This kind of rash temptation is a very dangerous behavior.

"Hey, forget it, wait until tomorrow to see the specific situation, and then decide how to act!"

Chen Ling thought to himself.

Immediately, he took out a Zengyuan Pill, took it, crossed his legs on the bed, and practiced.

Once in the wasteland, the advantages of being an alchemist are extremely obvious.

Sufficient elixir is the greatest guarantee for maintaining intact combat power.

. . .

Early the next morning, when Chen Ling handed over the twelve Haoyuan Pills to Zhao Charmaine, she was very happy.

This elixir came too timely.

He praised Chen Ling again, and the more he looked at him, the more pleasing he was.

A strange idea even popped up in my heart, if the Zhao family didn't find a suitable candidate, then it would be fine for me to become a Taoist couple with him.

Now Chen Ling is very satisfied with her cultivation base, personality, and other aspects.

"This matter can be considered carefully. After all, there is a fourth-level alchemy master and a fourth-level alchemist Taoist companion, so there is basically no need to worry about cultivation resources in the future!"

"In the future, the Zhao family will be able to save a lot of money when they buy warships and pills!"

Zhao Chan was really moved.

But the most urgent task at hand is to solve the matter of the platinum ape first.

As for the compensation for the elixir, Chen Ling hoped that she could pay with top-grade spirit stones.

Zhao Chanzhen naturally readily agreed, but since she didn't have any top-quality spirit stones in her hands at the moment, she could only pay Chen Ling after the land reclamation was over.

Soon, the leading monks from other sects also gathered in the meeting hall.

Chen Ling glanced slightly.

Among the dozen or so monks, there are five Nascent Soul monks, and there are even two Nascent Soul mid-stage monks.

The others are also late Jindan monks.

Knowing that the decisive battle was coming soon, everyone looked dignified.

Since Chen Ling is located under Zhao Zhaozhen, the relationship between Chen Ling and Zhao Zhaozhen seems to be quite cordial.

But it's only the second rank of Jindan, so it looks very conspicuous at this moment.

Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Ling looked indifferent, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

Killed Guo Laozu and Cao Zhenghong two Nascent Soul monks one after another.

Now when I meet monks in the early and middle stages of Nascent Soul, I no longer feel the oppressive feeling like before.

Zhao Chanzhen glanced at the people sitting on both sides, with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice, "Patriarchs and heads, since you have all arrived, you are ready to go!"

"But before we set off, I still have to explain something to you guys!"

"From this year to now, we have opened up nearly [-] miles of land."

"Regardless of whether we can win the territory of the Platinum Ape this time, the areas that have been opened up will be distributed by the seven sects present according to their merits."

"Including the resources in the territory, my Zhao family will not occupy a single bit."

"But if anyone dares to take the lead in the next battle, then don't blame me for being rude!"

Although Zhao Chanzhen was only at the middle stage of the golden core, but facing so many high-ranking monks, she had a majestic aura with every gesture.

"Patriarch Zhao, just rest assured, our Qianxiangzhen Sect will definitely do our best to kill the monsters!"

A burly and handsome middle-aged man sitting in front replied with a smile.

Others also joined in.

Although there have been many casualties in the previous two battles.

But these sects are all affiliated sects of Lanyue Sect.

Lan Yuezong issued an order, and they had no other choice.

If they dare to defy, not only their lives will be in danger, but even the entire sect will be involved.

Zhao Chan really had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions.

Among the seven sects sitting here, four sects are subordinate sects of the Zhao family, and the other three sects are forcibly recruited sects close to the Yunmengze area.

Moreover, there are two sects that have more intensive contacts with the Cao family.

Regarding their situation, she still has some scruples in her heart.

"Okay, I've already made arrangements for this battle. Sixth Uncle and Senior Tu will help me deal with the Platinum Ape. Sect Master Jiang and you will join forces to deal with the Thunder Rhinoceros!"

Zhao Chanzhen continued to speak.

In order to open up wasteland this time, the Zhao family also moved out almost all their property, including a lot of pills, runes, magic circles, puppets, etc.

Although she is a mid-stage Gold Core cultivator, she is an array mage and sword repairer, and has many treasures in her hands.

So every time you fight, you also take the lead!

Never back down!
"Yes!"

The five Nascent Soul cultivators stood up and clasped their fists in reply.

"Let's set off now and destroy the Platinum Ape!"

Zhao Chanzhen waved her hand and said.

Outside, the Xianlei Warship had already docked in the center of the camp.

Then, Zhao Charmaine moved, left the hall first, and leaped onto the battle boat.

Then, others followed suit.

The fourth-tier warship is more than 100 feet long and sixty to seventy feet wide, which is more than enough to accommodate two thousand monks.

In a blink of an eye, more than 1000 monks boarded the warship.

Chen Ling followed the big team and entered the third cabin.

This time, he quietly found a seat in the corner and sat down.

Since the battle was imminent, the others also sat cross-legged and meditated with their eyes closed, and did not talk much.

After a while, the Xianlei Zhanzhou galloped towards the wasteland.

This battle was really arranged by Zhao Chan from just now.

Chen Ling also learned that a total of five Nascent Soul cultivators participated.

Among them, Zhao Zhengdong, the elder of the Zhao family in the mid-Yuanying period, and Jiang Kaishan, the lord of the Qianxiangzhen Sect, are the main force this time.

The other three early-stage Yuanying monks are Zhang Peng, elder of Haoguang Sect, Li Jinshu, elder of Seven Star Sect, and Tu Baoyun, elder of Spirit Beast Sect.

In addition, there are dozens of Golden Core monks.

There are more than 200 foundation monks.

Such a lineup, no matter in Xihuang, or even in Ancient Shenzhou, is definitely considered to be strong.

"Patriarch Chen, when the battle breaks out, you'd better stay on the battleship!"

Chen Ling, who was closing his eyes and resting his mind, suddenly heard Zhao Chanzhen's concerned voice.

In her opinion, as Chen Ling, there was no need to go to the front line to fight!

This was also a kind of protection for Chen Ling.

"Seniors, don't worry, the juniors are just working hard and can't stay."

"Now that's the situation, naturally I have to do my best for the Zhao family!"

Chen Ling's tone was righteous.

He came to the wasteland on this adventure mainly to put away the Five Absolute Thunder Flame and stay on the battleship, so it would be better not to come.

You can of course wait and see how it turns out.

But no matter which side wins in the end, it's not good for you.

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of the battle between the two sides, it is most appropriate to go to this cave.

"Then you have to decide for yourself. It's best to follow me. These Nascent Soul monsters in front of you look friendly on the surface. No one knows what their plans are after leaving."

"Especially the members of the Haoguang Sect and the Seven Star Sect. They are close to the Cao family. This time they were recruited by me, so I feel somewhat resentful."

"The battlefield will change rapidly at that time, it is best to be on guard!"

Zhao Chanzhen's tone became a little dignified.

Judging from her tone, she seemed to have noticed something!
When Chen Ling heard this, he couldn't help being surprised.

No wonder with this lineup, Platinum Ape and Thunder Rhinoceros have been outnumbered. It turns out that there is a hidden mystery in it.

However, his goal is the cave of the ancestor of the Wang family, and if he can avoid provoking other things, try not to provoke them.

A Foundation Establishment family has several factions, not to mention Lanyue Sect is such a giant.

It is normal for sects to fight each other for their own interests and resources.

However, now that the Cao family is involved, if it goes well, he doesn't mind giving the two of them a ride.

After all, the friend of the enemy is the enemy.

Easy-going, Zhao Charmaine also cut off the sound transmission.

Chen Ling also glanced quietly at the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Haoguang Sect and the Seven Star Sect not far from him.

The two were talking in low voices.

"Li Daoyou, I heard that you got several Sunflower Grasses that are more than 1000 years old?"

Zhang Peng, the elder of Haoguangzong, looked middle-aged, tall and elegant, with extremely sharp eyes, which gave people a kind of coercion, and he was asking Li Jinshu with a smile.

Li Jinshu, the elder of the Seven Star Sect, was thin, dark-skinned, and dressed in a worn black robe. If he met him on a country road, he would be no different from an old farmer in the country.

But who would have thought that this inconspicuous old man was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The corner of his mouth moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound. Obviously, the two of them switched to voice transmission.

Chen Ling felt a little emotional in his heart, he really can't be judged by his appearance!

"Thousand-year golden grass, this is a good thing!"

Chen Ling thought to himself.

Sunflower Grass is the best medicine primer for refining gold and fire attribute pills. It can not only increase the success rate of elixir, but also improve the properties of the medicine.

Just like the Haoyuan pills he is refining now are all two-pill patterns, if he adds the sun-gold pattern grass, there may be a chance to refine the three-pill pattern Haoyuan pills.

Then the price is more than doubled!

After a while, the speed of the warship gradually slowed down.

Zhao Chanzhen stood up from the main seat, glanced at everyone sharply, and said solemnly, "Ten miles ahead is the gathering place of platinum apes and other monsters, everyone, get ready."

"Let me emphasize the battle plan again."

"Sixth Uncle, Tu Zongzhu and I deal with Platinum Ape."

"Sect Master Jiang and Elder Zhang and Elder Li deal with the Thunder Rhinoceros."

"Everyone who kills the opponent first will go to help kill another fourth-order monster."

"As for the golden core monks, deal with those third-order monsters!"

"Foundation cultivators are second-order monsters!"

This was originally a long-established plan, and everyone clasped their fists and accepted the order.

Chen Ling had no objection to such an arrangement.

With his current methods, unless he encounters these two mid-tier fourth-stage monsters at the same time, they will not pose a threat to him!
Of course, his goal was Wang Laozu's cave, and he didn't want to waste time on other things.

According to the jade slips, its location is in this area, a funnel-shaped mountain mouth.

Afterwards, everyone also came to the deck of the battleship.

Although the sun was shining brightly at the moment, the wasteland below was shrouded in a faint mist.

But with Chen Ling's current cultivation of spiritual consciousness.

You can clearly see the lush grassland, lakes and jungles, and the mountains below.

If the evil mist in this place can be cleared away, this place is undoubtedly another place suitable for the survival of the human race.

As for the existence of spiritual veins, it is unknown.

In the jungle and grassland, many low-level monsters also spotted the roaring warship, and they all let out continuous warning roars.

At the same time, as if being summoned, Qi Qi galloped towards a gigantic peak of a thousand feet in front.

Come to think of it, that is the base camp of Platinum Ape.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Two earth-shattering roars came from the giant peak.

A majestic aura shot up into the sky.

"Sixth uncle, launch the battle boat array!"

At this time, Zhao Chanzhen gave an order to Zhao Zhengdong who was controlling the battleship.

"Yes, master!"

Zhao Zhengdong embraced the order.

Although his cultivation base and seniority are much higher than that of Zhao Chengdong, Zhao Zhengdong seems to be convinced by Zhao Yingzhen.

Then, I saw Zhao Zhengdong chanting words, and a black array appeared in front of him.

Then, as soon as he made a tactic, there was an overwhelming buzzing sound on the battleship.

In the next second, the runes on the body of the battle boat shone, and then bursts of thunder came out.

Rumble.

Lei Mang rippled instantly.

Immediately, with the battle boat as the center, groups of roaring thunder soared into the sky.

"Thunder Sea Jutao, fall!"

Zhao Zhengdong immediately pointed at the giant peak not far away.

The thunderbolts surrounding the battleship surged out in an instant, and condensed in an instant, like an overwhelming sea of ​​thunder blasting towards the giant peak.

The riotous thunder spirit power roared past, and the thick evil mist disappeared without a trace.

On the mountainside of the giant peak, a huge figure gradually emerged.

The next moment, the figure roared angrily, punched Lei Hai heavily, and went away.

A mountain-like golden giant fist Gaia descended.

Rumble!
In an instant, the golden giant fist and thunder light intertwined and bombarded together, like two ancient giants fighting with bare hands!
Finally, there was a bang, and the sky became clear again after a burst of golden light and thunder light shone.

But this time, almost all the evil fog around the giant peak dissipated.

The huge bodies of Platinum Ape and Thunder Rhinoceros on the mountain also appeared in front of everyone.

The platinum ape is about ten feet tall, covered in golden hair, looks very domineering, and roars continuously.

Obviously, the blow just now seems to have suffered a loss.

The Thunder Rhinoceros' body reached thirty to forty feet, and the black thunder horns erected high on its forehead surged with lightning.

Just the terrifying aura released by them is enough to suppress an early Golden Core cultivator to death.

And around them, there are densely packed other monsters, ready to fight.

"Follow the plan!"

On the battleship, Zhao Chanzhen passed down the order.

As soon as the words fell, the various sects and monks of the Zhao family on the battle boat, under the leadership of their respective leaders, rushed towards the monsters below.

Zhao Zhengdong and Tu Baoyun brandished their treasures and charged towards the Platinum Ape.

Jiang Kaishan also rushed towards Thunder Rhinoceros, Zhang Peng and Li Jinshu looked at each other and followed closely behind.

On the battle boat, Chen Ling did not jump off the battle boat with everyone.

As his consciousness scanned, he quickly discovered the funnel-shaped mountain recorded in the jade slip.

It is one hundred and seventy to eighty miles to the right of Jufeng.

Rumble!
In a short while, the monks and the monsters had been killed together, all kinds of lights shone, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Chen Ling quietly flew away from the battlefield.

However, the distance of more than 100 miles is only a marginal distance for Nascent Soul monks and fourth-order monsters, and it may be affected at any time.

As soon as he landed at the foot of the mountain, the surrounding world was filled with evil mist.

It's just that the evil mist has no effect on him now.

Before it got close to his body, it evaporated and disappeared under the hot breath in his body.

There was a tiny trace of aura exuding in the mist, which should be the existence of a nearby spiritual vein.

Chen Ling couldn't help but be overjoyed. If it was as expected, these auras should have been released from Patriarch Wang's cave.

According to the jade slips given by Wang Xi, this cave is a small secret realm established by Patriarch Wang, and there is quite a lot of aura in it.

Chen Ling scanned with his spiritual sense, and quickly figured out the terrain of this mountain range. After comparing it with the route recorded in the jade slips.

Slowly, he roughly got the specific location of the cave.

Rumble!
At this time, in the evil fog, several second-level black armored apes spotted Chen Ling, and they all bombarded Chen Ling.

Seeing six second-tier giant beasts roaring towards him, Chen Ling's expression remained calm. These second-tier monsters no longer posed any threat to him.

Suddenly, a red flame bombarded down in the air, and a golden flame giant sword swept across.

There was a bang bang, the golden fire sword swept across, and the bodies of the black-armored giant apes burst and were killed instantly.

A look of pity appeared on Chen Ling's face.

If it is normal, then these second-order giant apes will naturally be collected and refined into puppets.

But now that time is running out, he can't afford to delay.

So let the golden fire crow do it directly.

Then, continue to run the divine consciousness.

The evil mist on the ground was thick, and his consciousness was suppressed quite a bit.

Fortunately, within a range of several thousand feet, the location of the cave has been found.

Chen Ling jumped onto the back of the Golden Fire Crow again, and flew straight into the valley.

A few miles ahead, the target cave is located.
